Oil consumption problems

[Gittyup]

2020 Telluride burning oil. Just found out 3 of the pistons are scorned.

What did you do to piss them off

Seriously, it's generally cylinder walls that get SCORED, not pistons. How were you able to find out? Camera?

Shouldn't be an issue unless you have over 100K on the clock !!

Did you change oil.@5000 miles intervals

Did you change oil.@5000 miles intervals

I am doing 5k right now may lower it to every 4K.

My 2020 engine was replaced at 38k miles for the same issue. I started changing the oil at 4500 - 5000 mile intervals after. At 69k miles the engine started to sound like it did before the replacement. I was vigilant on checking the oil and the oil consumption was only about 1qt between oil changes (though I always topped off each time I checked). Needless to say I was concerned that this would be a problem again so I got rid of the telluride. I lost trust in my telluride.

At this rate I may have to at every 2500 miles

I am doing 5k right now may lower it to every 4K.

I may have to start doing that every thousand miles

Do you check oil level with the dipstick when motor is cold?

 

[robertabba0]

Also are you using a quality oil filter?

I was using OEM from the dealership. Think I am going to start using Purolator oil filters .

We also have a 2020 Kia telluride XX 2 Wheel Dr. and have been to the Kia dealership several times for all consumption and all we get back from them is it is within tolerance for these engines to burn a quart of oil every thousand miles. With that being said and the engine only holding 6.89 quarts of oil basically you do an oil change every 5000 miles regardless. We all need to come together and get an attorney for a class action lawsuit

No warm

To get an accurate reading I check it before I start the car when it is cold.Im wondering why you have the piston scoring.Im thinking perhaps the oil level has been low?Also,you did not mention what year Telluride you have.

 

[robertabba0]

Also,I would get a second opinion.The car is out of warranty.I would check with a mechanic that is familiar with the car

I honestly question the competence (honesty) of a dealership

Something else you can do is have an oil sample analyzed at a lab.I have heard it only costs about 50.They can also tell if there atec metal particles in the oil.I honestly dont believe the dealer used a camera to evaluate

I was thinking about your situation.I believe 2020 wss the first year for the Telluride.It usually is not a good idea to buy a product in its first year,as problems show up and they try to correct them in subsequent years.Someone else had a similar problem with the 2020.He is selling his car and buying another one (not a 2020 Telluride)
